Ali said he was happy to receive an offer from U of L coach Rick Pitino, whose staff watched him at the LeBron James camp in Las Vegas and the Nike EYBL Peach Jam in South Carolina this month.

"(Pitino) said I fit great in his offense and his defense, and he thinks I could come in and be an impact freshman at Louisville," Ali said last week. "… I was happy because he's a legendary coach, and Rick Pitino doesn't offer just anybody."

Ali is not playing with his Southern Stampede club in Louisville this week in the AAU Super Showcase. He played at Peach Jam with an injured ankle and tweeted on Tuesday that he's done with AAU ball for the summer.
